Carrier deployments test logistics and depend on destroyer availability

Global carrier deployments exercise logistics, demonstrate reach and depend on available destroyers.

Notes

British global carrier deployments provide a test of the logistics needed to sustain a force far from home. They also demonstrate continued ability to deploy to the South Atlantic. In the account given here, Pacific deployments can help cover gaps in American LHD availability. Destroyer availability is central to assembling and deploying these groups.
